OPAM finish

its only a little finish, but a finish none the less

March SAL pincushion

now to get back to my Civil War Journals Quilt

Todays Sewing

It was nice to have a tidy organised sewing room today

so I got busy making some Bee Blocks.

I have joined a quilting Bee or 2 on Facebook, and

to date have made 6 blocks

here are the 2 blocks I made today

This lady gave us the choice of 2 tutorials I made 1 of each  block

design for her

I will admit I have struggled as the ladies are all wanting

bright, modern fabrics, 1 asked for selvedges....

and as I rarely use brights, nor do I keep selvedges or scraps its been

interesting

this block was foundation pieced, I love Foundation piecing

tonight I have stitched the band for the March SAL project,

a pincushion, I have cut the top and bottom squares, now

I just need to sew it all together.

I guess I should get back to Butterfly Garden tomorrow night, and

I need to finish the first months blocks for my 

Civil War Journals quilt......

why do I feel like I have my fingers in too many projects

Seriously Slack Since Sunday

Until today not a stitch has been stitched on anything

I have been seriously slack

actually I have been having some issues sleeping and am so 

tired during the day I haven't had the oomph to do anything

until today.

Last year I collected a BOM from the Fat Quarter Shop

Civil War Journals

and this year I am collecting 

Civil War Melodies

so I thought I should probably start sewing 

Civil War Journals.

The Finished Quilt should look like this

3 of the 8 blocks required for the 1st month

the remaining 5 blocks of month 1

and month 2, very similar to month 1

see so that is all the sewing I have done, slack aren't I ;)

Photo Overload

with lots of yummy goodies I managed to buy

while I was away oops

First up is Gail Pan's Homecoming Lane

I wanted this as soon as Gail started showing sneak peaks

on Facebook

I got the patterns and fabric kit from the always

gorgeous Pauline at Calico Crossroads

Then is Ulverstone I found this yummy pattern and templates

and these were in my stash, I sorted them all out as part of

the friday night sew in that was on :)

plus the right amount of background fabric  means I am starting to

cut out templates today

This delicious pattern was at Esmes, and it was

half price

One of Anni's latest designs from Ulverstone

2 fat quarters for my stitch a long quilt

and this was waiting for me when I got home

and progress on the stitchery I took away with me

I did a very small amount last  night for the Friday night Sew in

and its bloody nice to be home and sleeping in my bed again

my life would be fabulous if  Henrycat would talk to me, he has

ignored me since I walked in the front door!
